I preferred when it was just me in my study sipping on champagne. It allowed me to get my mind off things, of the things that sat before me now. I sighed. The council's hungry eyes never left mine, especially Edgar and Kelly. On usual days, I would consider myself a feminist but not today. I had to ask.
"What are you doing here, Kelly?" She froze and then looked at me, her eyes flashed, then she hid it with a smile.
"Hmmm. I am here because I am part of the council."
"Since when? I know very well that I didn't permit it." I said and she looked at me intently then looked away.
"Well, we had the opportunity to invite her as she had arrived, so I

ELSA'S POVLetter in the mail for me? No one ever knew where I was, how could I be receiving letters? Nia and the maid that reported it sat there, I didn't want to be obvious that I was panicking, but I was. Gravely so."Are you sure that you did not see the person that sent this? Surely, if it was mailed today, then you could have seen it, yes?" I asked, praying that she had seen them. I hadn't read the letter, yet. I did not know its content and I wasn't eager to know."I did not see them, ma'am. But I'm sure you can still know if you wish, there should be a returning address." She said and I rolled my eyes. Nia chuckled at the obvious fact that the maid had just stated. "I know what a letter contains, crystal. Is there a CCTV camera on this premises?""Of course there are. This is a royal ground and the king needs all the extra eyes he can. The guards are not to be trusted, they doze off more than try should and sometimes on duty. Edward especially.

NIA'S POVI had not promised not to tell Arthur and I wouldn't have. If Elsa was being threatened then Arthur had to know if it was, no matter the problem or issue."Can we change the topic now? I'm not comfortable with us talking about this thing anymore.""Okay. Fine. Have you talked with Elton so far?" I asked and Elsa rolled her eyes, then averted her gaze. Scooting over to pull the buckle of her gold sandals that looked perfectly fine in my eyes. It was a diversion from the topic. Ever since my opening-up night with Silas, Elsa had been avoiding or worse, acting as though Elton did not exist and it didn't sit right with me. With each passing day, it started to feel like I didn't know her the way I would vouch I did when asked and it bugged me.

ELSA'S POVAfter Nia had left I decided to take a bit of rest and make my back comfortable by laying down, but even though my back was no longer hurting from hunching for a few hours straight I just didn't feel the peace I thought I would. My mind kept on going to Elton and the revelation we had both made. Not like we knew we had something that deep and tragic in common. I still had the idea to catch the people that killed my parents and some people around them at the top of my to-do list and I didn't know if he was thinking in that direction too. I prayed he would. I carefully slipped on my sandals and straightened my cloth with my hands which surprisingly adhered to my command and immediately straightened them, making them look as good as new. I smiled at the dress, even though I had zero reason to at the moment. I was pregnant and had just had a short time before my belly would pop out and expose me, I still didn't have anything figured out. I just found someone else whose loved o

ARTHUR'S POVNia's stern voice and the topic she had just raised with it sent a chill down my back. Her brows were raised as though she was waiting for me to catch up with what she had to say. Edgar continued to sip the champagne that had been heavily dowsed with water to avoid us from getting drunk and give out the plan we had just come up with; to use the ceremony in making Elsa jealous and possibly convince her to say yes to me. I gestured with my hand for Nia to continue which she did, but not after sighing one more time. What she had to say must have been dangerous because she kept on sighing, it had me worried."I think that we have to start looking forward to more attacks than just from the rogues." She said and stared from me to Edgar."Why do you say that?" I asked,

ELSA'S POVI was dismissed for now. That was until Edgar and Arthur knew what to do with the information I had just passed on to them. The information I could tell from their body language was pissing them off. I could not believe Nia had gone against what I had secretly begged her not to worry about. Now everyone's focus was on me and that was the last thing I needed. I was pregnant and had a month or so before the whole castle knew and Nia had unintentionally almost blown my cover. I didn't want anyone to notice that I was adding in some weight or that my boobs looked heavier than usual. My skin was glowing and my hair had never looked good, and that was good, I was ecstatic about that, I would love it more if the people around just thought that it was a manifestation of the good food I was indulging in here. And the milk too. A light knock on my door pulled me out of my thoughts. I silentl

ELSA'S POVI and Nia laid there, no one said anything. I even had to touch my ribcage just to be sure that I was still breathing. Oh yeah, I was. Nia looked at me then cleared her airway and started getting up to, obviously, flee the scene. There was something unspoken there and if I was being correct I could also sense a smile coming on."What is with that look?" I whispered, not because I didn't want Arthur to think I was doing something wrong, I wasn't. But because I knew I didn't want to talk about him. And by that unresolved angst, I just felt, I knew very well that I should have finished that conversation I had going on with Nia."You sound ridiculous whispering right now. And also, why the hell is he on your doorstep by this time? I thought you said you both are not having sex?""What? A man shows up at your doorstep late at night and you're indulging in sexual intercourse with him? What kind of person do you think I am.""You believe we are keeping the Lycan king on his feet o

ARTHUR'S POVKelly kept staring at me, eyes flashing. I was in no mood to talk about what she was bringing up but from the spitting colors her eyes were emanating, it was pretty obvious that she was not having that."What is it?""I just literarily said what the problem is, there must be some kind of voodoo at work here because it makes no sense," Kelly said, voice loud, stroking her chin in deep thought, she was thinking about it. I sighed loudly making her glare at me."This is no voodoo, trust me. We are okay, I'm okay. Elsa does not need any spell on me. She does not need it." I said, smiling to myself. Forgetting that Kelly sat there, Ursula and Emily too, coupled up with Andrew and two members of the council,

ELSA'S POVElsa this... Elsa that. I did not know why but it seemed like everyone was on for getting on my nerves. I had walked out on everyone just as the Lycan king was doing so because I was angry. Especially at him. Who chastens someone they claim to love in public? No one, that's who. It makes no sense. So instead of pacing or saying more words turned in by anger, I was in my bedroom, on top of my bed, and saddling in trying to calm myself down."Elle, you gotta speak up at some point," Nia said, her voice reminding me that she was still there. I sat up and stared at her intently then shrugged."I think I have nothing to say. Except, for a question. I have a question to ask." I said, not minding the fact that my voice was loud. I scratched my neck probably the same time

ELSA'S POVBy the time it was evening, I was sickly tired waiting for Arthur to show up. He had boldly asked me not to come, that I should enjoy my day but if I was honest, I swear that I had done anything but enjoy today. Be anxious? sure. Get mad? Definitely. Shiver? Hmm-mm. Get happy a tad? Sure again. I had rocked and rocked and rocked, getting so tired of waiting that evening. I was about to go west my fancy jacket and go have this uncertain conversation with him that is scary with him when the door knob turned and I froze. Arthur came in and to my pleasure and displeasure, he wore a giant smile on his face probably happy that he could finally see me, honestly after my mini-investigation in the semi-afternoon, I was not so sure anymore."Hey, well... Aren't you a sight for sore eyes. A kiss?" He asked, walking towards me in such a hurry, you might mistake me for the breath of life. He looked so good and I knew I could get easily distracted by that but I chose not to. I rose a han

ELSA'S POVOur wedding night had not been what I thought it was going to be. It was everything I imagined and more and the fact that I did not get any sleep was pleasing instead of stressful. When I opened my eyes the next morning, I could not find Arthur, I sat up, rubbing my eyes from the pleasing exhaustion at the same time. I looked around and if I was being honest just as I felt different, in a good way, the room looked different too. So different and good too. I flashed a smile to myself as I thought that of course it would look different because I was not in my room, I was in Arthur's room or if I was being accurate, I would say my room. I got up from the bed and walked swiftly to the mirror, naked. I looked at myself in the mirror and not only did I feel different, I looked different. There were hickeys on my neck and ear, it was certainly an interesting look. I wore the robe I found on Arthur's side of the bed, which was made and a white card that had little hearts on it. I

ELSA'S POVThe big wedding was in motion. I mean the planning was in motion but it was the same thing. Most people were so surprised when Arthur gave the announcement that day. Shocked to the brim and beyond while some smiled and nodded their approval. The rest just glared at me as though they would have loved to stab me with a knife if it was allowed. Shreds. And I did not even blame them, I was still surprised myself. I was so excited just as I was anxious. I still had a baby growing in me and I did not know the father and I was freaking out. I could scratch my own eyes out. Just as the wedding planning was in set, so was my running away planning. I needed to flee with my head still intact."What are doing in here staring at the wall?" I turned and saw Nia standing at the door with an amused look on her face. I flashed her a smile and shook my head slowly, thinking of what to say. "Arthur has been smiling since yesterday, I am so surprised that his jaw is not been hurting yet." She

ELSA'S POVI had no idea that there was a cabin back here. When Emily directed me here it was like she had been blabbing. I had walked this whole place and this was the first time I was seeing this place. I guess the structure of the house was weird. I stood in front of the 'invisible' cabin and searched for the most important words at that moment. I knew the words I wanted to say were that I loved him so much, that l was willing to put away the paralysis of fear that held me down, and that I wanted to be his wife. That I was going to be his wife. That was the most important one. I took three bold and quiet steps up the small stair that had its wood painted red. Nice.My stomach rumbled in fear and my heart thudded against my chest. I raised my hands to knock and surprisingly on the first attempt it landed on the door with a very faint thud, produ

NIA'S POV"I wanted it to be a surprise for you. But I just needed something to give me an edge and make you listen to me. I love you and if staying here will make you believe it then I'm staying here and I'm not leaving. But that depends on what you think of it all. I need to be sure that you are comfortable with it. I don't want to shove anything down your throat and force you to want this just because I do. Do you understand?" He asked and I nodded. A big smile on my face."Woah. I love how you put things and I love that you are doing this for me. You have no idea how much it means to me, Silas. I have never been in love and most importantly I have never had someone love me to the extent of wanting to make a big change as big as what you just announced to make me happy. And I love you too. So much." I said and he closed his eyes for a moment, s

NIA'S POVThere he was. Silas, sat at the edge of the large rock everyone seemed to like. I smiled lightly at the cliche of happy things. I had searched everywhere for him, now that I think about it, why did I not search for him here before going to their tent area? Silly of me.I walked further into the space and I saw a striking blonde woman, who if I was being honest, I had nothing on. Why was Silas talking to this woman out here in the love garden? And why was I suddenly comparing this woman whom I did not know to myself? Insecurities were never a friend. Silas turned to look at them and immediately stood up, putting a clever distance between the both of them as if they were close. They were not. So why was he tripping?"Hey! Um... Hi." He said, grasping for words to say. I gave him a tight-lipped smile and nodded to tell him that I had heard the first greeting and he did not need to repeat it."Hi, if you have a company that would stay long then maybe I should come back, I was th

URSULA'S POV"Woah, mum. You are not selling my sister and definitely not the same man you sold me off to. I will not let that happen. If you need the money do bad and Dad can't control his silly problem and you love him so much, why don't you just go get married to Arthur yourself." I said they both gasped. Okay even though I was angry at that moment I had to admit it was nice to actually get a reaction from my father. He was such a doll sometimes. But apparently, he was not when he was being irresponsible with his money, ordering the servants and selling off his children."You dashed everything I once wanted for myself a few years ago and I am not going to let you do that to Sasha too. You do not even ask us what we want, or what we need. You just know that you have to get your money up and running. Did you ask her what she wanted?" I asked and my mother gestured behind me."She's right behind you and you can use your ears to hear that she was okay with it." I turned around and saw

URSULA'S POVWe all just sat there, no words being said. I guess maybe we were all basking in the memory we had spent in the house. I could not just let the house sell, it was unacceptable, that was where I had my first steps, and said my first words. I opened my mouth, then closed it again. Convinced that even if words were going to come out it was going to be all memories and not help anybody in the current situation we were in. A question finally came out."Um... So how did this happen and why was I not informed sooner?" I finally asked, tired. My family had no perks, only disadvantages. It was maddening and annoying."Well, we thought we could fix it on our own and still think we can fix it, we just need time and six days is no time." My mother said, looking over her shoulders at my father who still had his back on the chair. I wondered how he was still calm enough after all this bad news, it was his farm and he had a lot of land to use. I mean I would not go hungry, cannot. I was

URSULA'S POVThe smile that was on my face when I saw that Nia and Gloria were talking was very big. I wore a big smile on my face because that was enough proof to know that the story I had given her had worked. I wanted this meeting to have a very successful outcome and I knew that could not happen if the two key people involved could not deal with each other, it would not be a success. It would be a big disaster and I did not want that.Now that that seemed settled, I looked around, my eyes searching for Andrew. It was a dreaded day for Arthur, for everyone, but I bet he was with him. The event had already begun and the both of them were still not seen so I could bet that some pep talks were being carried out. There were a lot of faces here, a lot of young faces eager to be the lycan king's wife if only they knew that it was no fairytale but rather it was a nightmare I would bet my ass that they would not be here right now with big smiles on their faces. My eyes caught what seemed t
